Cat Tree Furniture For Big Cats

There are a lot of cat trees available for the average size cat. The problem with the standard furniture however is that it is often not supporting the weight of bigger cats. That’s why I now come with a list of cat tree furniture for big cats.

Bigger Cat Furniture

Cat tree furniture comes in a lot of different shapes and sizes. A cat tree is a special construction, where cats can both play and sleep on a higher level than your average chair or sofa. A good amount of cats love to sit high up and perching over the area, feeling like a lion king on the top of the mountain.

There are plenty of models that are okay to use for small to moderate or normal sized cats. Most models however are constructed with cardboard poles and plastic parts as well as structures supported by only one beam. That is fine for lighter cats, but the heavier sized big cats will make the cat tree fall over or break into pieces. More active cats, such as Bengals will also jump into and out of the cat tree, making the cat tree wobble or topple.

We are not talking about 2-5 kg cats any longer, but cats that are well over 7 kg (15-20lbs).

I have been strolling the internet for models that are supported for the super sized cat and so without further ado, here I present you my top 5 cat tree furniture for big cats.
